Yeah, I think everything is where it should be. It's just wired like a Fiat. That's probably true, Hec.(I over-simplified a bunch, but I hope it's clear that I'm not trying to drink the haterade or anything...whatever he needs to do to feel okay is probably fine with me.) It's just that, contrary to what the sitcoms show, I didn't have anyone to ask about this in my graduating class.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

I think it's sometimes easier if you've hung out with trans men and women to have it make sense? I have a hard time explaining it, like meara does, but they just are who they are, and when you meet them/hang with them, it clicks. I know trans and otherwise non-cisgendered people who were born female who date women, some who date men, some who are fluid. I know trans and otherwise non-cisgendered people who were born men, and same thing. Some dated one gender before transition, and another after. We humans are complex!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Glad you asked, erika. I don't have any problems accepting things like Chasity knowing he is Chav -- because coming to that conclusion - in the face of all the cultural issues is not easy. However, acceptance isn't the same as understanding, and any information helps

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I have used a ton of words to say: Transexuals...huh. I don't get it
There was a great piece on This American Life by a trans guy, that included stuff about transition, and passing, and etc., as well as his realization that he had gone from being a really cool tough butch girl to being kind of a lame guy. Which was funny. It should be on their website.

TAL also had a heartbreaking piece about two child transgenders meeting each other for the first time and becoming BFFs.

This is the TAL with the interview with Griffin Hansbury, the trans guy. [link] I knew him in college. It's a pretty good show.
